The first thing we did was to learn the reading strategies that helped us understand the text better. The reading strategies we practised were: visualising, prior knowledge, skimming and scanning.
Visualising is the process of understanding some of the text and then drawing what you understand. Prior knowledge is when you already know things about the topic of the text. Skimming is when you read a text quickly to understand the general idea of the book and scanning is when you look for specific information in a text.
After that we looked at the vocabulary. Vocabulary is the words that someone (like yourself) doesn't understand the meaning of. Some people might not know the meaning of: 'obfuscate'. So they would tell people the meaning of the word. For example:
obfuscate - meaning: something made unclear or confusing.
